Fantastic shooting by Hasler of Liechtenstein! 0+0+0

No one else even close shootingwise

UPDATE as I say that she misses two. Still a job well done!

So..not so much succesful day for SVK as yesterday, but well, we can not expect a top 10 each race

 

Unfortunately Anastasiya missed 3 targets already in her first shooting today and the pursuit was over for her, at least she gained another few points for the world cup standing. thats ok. next time it will be better. Ivona was close to the points, but once again she missed it "thanks" her last shooting

 

Our legs order for tomorrows relay:

1- Paulína Fialková ---- 2- Anastasiya Kuzmina ---- 3- Terézia Poliaková ---- 4- Ivona Fialková

 

Spoiler

 

 

Among mens Tomáš Hasilla again on points, for 3rd race in a row by far our best racer so far, but this run...oh dear this run...he didn´t missed any target in last 9 standings shooting but with this run he´ll never reach any huge success...  Otčenáš with one missed target in each shooting was without chances for points..

 

Tomorrows relay order

1- Hasilla ---- 2- Kazár ---- 3- Otčenáš ---- 4- Šíma

 

Spoiler

 

 

No special goals for our relays tomorrow, but we hope for to be the much close to top 10 as it will be possible for both relays...important races for Nations Cup, so good luck guys and babes !

 

 

and to finish todays review a special mention to Eva Puskarčíková and her great first career podium. Bravo Eva

 

 

Czech Republic has an incredible strong group of great biathletes right now , really looking forward for Czech womens relay tomorrow.

 

 

Also 6th todays place in IBU cup sprint for Jana Gereková will mean she will be back in team SVK for 3rd world cup stage in NMNM, we will see who she will replace after yesterdays relay.

I wonder, where is America?

I'm not betting but optimistic about Czech result

anyone know why Sweden has this star reminder before their flag ? Did they missed a penalty loop?

Maybe it's a penalization, or a disqualification, or the target malfunctioned and they get a time bonus?

we´ll see, but it´s strange.

 

anyway Krčmář looks awesome in this seasons start, he is amazing also today so far.

A podium might be possible if we are lucky.

And yeah I'm really impressed. He's becoming very consistent. Remember last year he did 2 penalty loops on the relay.
